Republicans rethink abortion strategy after bruising midterms

[roamer_1]

So, not ever.

YES, EVER.
The word you see as 'kill' is 'murder' in Hebrew.
The commandment is about murder. The exceptions are NOT murder.

I am in the Pro-Life Category too.

OTOH, I do also realize that the dims played us like a drum using Dobbs as a wedge issue, and as an explosive GOTV incentive for their side.

Strategically, I have no idea why this landmark judical move couldn't have waited 6 months, and allowed us  to keep he democratic party accountible for there all of their disasters.

Because justice is not politics! And never should be!

I don't think the timing would ever have been good. The media, the pundits, the politicians all manipulate the issue to secure support from those that refuse to accept responsibility for their lives and don't want to hear about how we need to always protect the most vulnerable among us.

You may not like it, but that's exactly what it is. The life of the unborn baby is being protected.

So the 14 year old assaut victim deserves no protection, not even time.  You see one life and one life, only.  I respect your honesty @bilo

The only timing I give a tinker's damn about is that it should have happened fifty years before it finally did!

Edit to add; and that goes for everything the courts have made up out of whole cloth like they did with Roe!

[roamer_1]

Spitting hairs.

No it's not. I kill all the time. Varmints, food... Killing is not murder.

[roamer_1]

Yes, EVER.

Saving babies’ lives vs. a supposed political advantage? Perhaps people could hone up on their Biblical hermeneutics. Jesus speaks clearly about what should be done to those who harm children.

[DCPatriot]

Threads like this have a way of exposing those who have had compassion and discernment principled right out of them @Cyber Liberty   Someone without either is often a self-righteous bully.

But, at least these threads have a way of explaining why the majority would rather spit on a Republican than vote for the candidate.

BRAVO!!!

  VERY clearly!

I have no idea why Republicans stupidly chose not to affirm this decision as a victory for the Bill of Rights.  Republicans squandered the opportunity to separate abortion from national politics.  Instead of boldly affirming the rights of each State (Democrat and Republican) to choose their own abortion laws, they remained silently afraid that Democrats might say something bad against them (with the exception of that buffoon Graham mentioned before).

When are Republicans ever going to show some balls and call something out for what it is instead of cowering at Democrat lies?  There was nothing at all wrong with the timing of SCOTUS.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Yes, EVER.

Nope.

Carry on.   

[Hoodat]

BRAVO!!!

@Right_in_Virginia

Right on cue.

Dobbs overturning Roe is no different from Brown overturning Plessy.  And Democrats were on the wrong side both times.  But I have yet to hear a single Republican politician make this comparison.  Cowards, one and all.

I hope that the national party takes only one position on abortion: it is a state matter.  There should be no federal regulation in this area, period.

It's to bad your lacking in that department.

The hypothetical 14 year old is not threatened with being killed, the unborn baby is!

[Hoodat]

Saving babies’ lives vs. a supposed political advantage?

Saving babies' lives should have been in itself a rare opportunity to achieve a political advantage.  But Republicans were too afraid to stand for Righteousness, lest Democrats say mean things about them.

Which was the case before Roe and has recently been restored thank God!

Funny you should say that considering that there were already government protections in place to prevent that assault.

B-I-N-G-O !

Unfortunately, Republicans are cowards, afraid of stating this publicly.

Considering that the GOP chose your approach in this past election, how well did that work out for you?

[Hoodat]

The celebration of Dobbs as an affirmation of our Constitution is on par with Brown v. Board of Education as an affirmation of equal protection under that same Constitution.

That is the bottom line.

I would like to see abortion outlawed...but that will have to come from the woman involved. Until then, legality resides with the states.
